SunriseColored pencil on black paper

This is a tutorial I originally wrote in 2008, and I am posting it now to my web site with some minor edits and expanded explanation.  It describes in detail how to realistically draw fur on black paper, utilizing layering and opacity to create detailed color and lighting.  To create such a drawing for yourself you will need black paper or another black drawing surface, a graphite pencil, an opaque white colored pencil, and an array of other colored pencils.
